Yo Yo

Last week I was doing well. I ate better and stuck to the lifting schedule of New Rules of Lifting. As a result, I lost weight. Proof this really works if you do it.

Then the weekend came and I ate the wrong things and drank too much. I snacked instead of eating real meals. Drinking too much Saturday led to a nasty hangover Sunday that made me skip breakfast but then have a greasy burger for lunch.

I’ve said before that I’m a creature of habit. So those two days were enough to throw everything off. This past week has been a series of false starts. I start each day with good intentions and end the days eating or drinking something I shouldn’t. I didn’t exercise at all. So I gained weight. Proof eating/drinking too much and no exercise makes you gain weight.

I know what to do. I’ve done what needs to be done. Why do I fall backwards and mess up all the good I’ve done? Will I ever figure out how to keep the momentum going once I get back on track? Why do I always fight so hard against myself?
